Here are some quick tips and ideas on cleaning the bathroom to make sure it looks tidy and sparkles.
Mirrors:
For the mirrors it is best to use a cloth that is soft and lint free that way you do not leave "bits" everywhere.
You should use a product that contains vinegar or vinegar itself, never water as this is more likely to streak. Do not clean in circles as this leaves streaks as well. Go either from side to side or up and down.
Taps and shower heads:
These are similar to mirrors you should use soft cloths and vinegar based products and should really buff them after cleaning with a dry soft cloth.
If you have a problem with lime scale (in France called Calcaire) you can try a home remedy of flat coca cola, white vinegar or you can buy anti-cal in the shops (be careful this stuff really stings the eyes and nose).
Toilets:
Do not use bleach on your toilet funnily enough it streaks! Pour flat coca cola down it then leave for a while then use your normal cleaner and brush well, voila lime scale gone.
To clean round the back in those nasty nooks and crannies use an old toothbrush with the cleaner she that dirt come away!
Tiles:
For the tiles in the shower that always seem to have water marks on them and inbedded grime in the grouting I tend to favour really tough cleaning agents like Cillit Bang with anti cal in them, I use one old flannel to clean, then run the shower over them and then use an old towel to dry them down this is really important or you get the same problem again.
If the grouting continues to be a problem reach for bleach and water very very watered down and a toothbrush, then again rinse off.
